Voergård Castle was taken over by the Bishop of Børglum in 1519. The oldest part of the north wing was added soon after. The vaulted hall with a central column still stands today. In 1579, the estate passed to noblewoman Karen Krabbe as part of a property exchange. Her daughter, Ingeborg Skeel, had the east wing built in 1586-91 as a two-storey renaissance-style house with octagonal towers complete with gateway and sandstone decorations. Inside, it was not modernised until the 18th century. In 1955, Count Einar Oberbech-Clausen took over the castle and willed it to a foundation. Voergård is open every summer.
